Set on 3.13 acres with sweeping views of Sierra Valley, Ross Meadow, and Beckwourth Peak, this thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2 1/2-bath custom home offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, accessibility, and true homestead living. An inviting sunroom off the kitchen provides flexible space for guests, an office, hobbies, or simply taking in the surrounding landscape. Throughout the home, custom Sierra Valley Furniture cabinetry and handcrafted furniture-quality woodwork by John Williamson add warmth and character, including the impressive oversized front entry door. Additional interior features include Milgard Ultra windows and doors, a custom built-in hallway daybed, antique entry lighting, a fire suppression sprinkler system, EV charging outlet in the garage, and passive solar design with expansive south-facing windows for added winter heating efficiency. Outside, the property has been carefully cultivated for both beauty and productivity. An established orchard includes apple, pear, plum, and cherry trees, along with approximately 20 antique apple trees at the rear of the property. Strawberries, raspberries, grapevines, raised vegetable beds, and abundant garden space create an exceptional opportunity for those looking to grow their own food. Established edible and ornamental plantings include asparagus, blackberries, elderberries, gooseberries, mint, lilacs, roses, flowering plums, peonies, honeysuckle, and more. For creative pursuits or a home-based business, the property also includes a detached 12' x 20' woodshop and separate 9' x 10' artist studio. Accessibility was thoughtfully incorporated into the home's design with a no-step front entry, wide ADA-compliant hallways and doorways, a roll-in shower with built-in bench and steam feature, roll-under vanity, and oversized front door. More than just a home, this is a property designed around a lifestyle—gardening, creating, working with your hands, and enjoying the peace and wide-open beauty of Sierra Valley. This amazing estate is only 5 minutes to the Sierra Valley Preserve Nature Center and Sierra Valley Farms. A truly special offering for those seeking space, self-sufficiency, craftsmanship, and a connection to the land.
